Freedom from the need to elevate self.
Philippians 2:3 'Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;'
If we are motivated by selfish ambition; personal gain;
or by the need for status and respect
then we will be no different from the world.
In Christ we are free to have a completely
different perspective from the world.
We have no need to elevate ourselves
because Christ is our life.
We do not need to seek the riches of the world
because Christ is our provision.
We do not need the praise and admiration of the world
because Christ is our inheritance.
We have no need to push others down in a competitive world
because Christ has lifted us.
He fills us with His love
so that we can be His people in a self-seeking world.
